EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of "The Lady and the Unicorn: Taste" tapestry, created by the French School in the 15th century. Housed in the Musee National du Moyen Age et des Thermes de Cluny in Paris, this masterpiece is a true testament to medieval artistry. In this particular section of the tapestry, we witness an enchanting scene filled with symbolism and elegance. The Lady delicately holds onto a majestic unicorn while standing beside a beautifully adorned rose fence. Surrounding her are vibrant flowers that add bursts of color to the composition. As our eyes wander through this intricate artwork, we notice various elements that represent different senses and emotions. A graceful maid offers a goblet to quench her thirst, while a rabbit symbolizes fertility and abundance. A mischievous monkey playfully teases a hound nearby, adding an element of liveliness to the scene. The Lady's walking stick or cane hints at her refined taste and sophistication during Renaissance times. Meanwhile, birds flutter above as if whispering secrets into her ear. One intriguing aspect depicted here is "The Gout" personified as an old man suffering from painful arthritis. This inclusion adds depth to the narrative by exploring both pleasure (taste) and pain (gout). With its rich details and symbolic imagery, this print allows us to delve into history and appreciate the skillful craftsmanship of medieval artists who sought to capture beauty through their creations.
